Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware announced that as part of its annual Ks for Kids program, the company will donate $10 to the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware for every strikeout thrown by a Blue Rocks pitcher at Frawley Stadium, up to a total of $5,000.
“With our annual Ks for Kids program, we at Highmark Delaware have the opportunity to support the community while spotlighting an organization in Delaware that makes a difference in the lives of our children,” said Highmark Delaware President Tim Constantine. “Last year, more than 2,300 families were able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware while their child received medical treatment at a nearby hospital.”
The Ronald McDonald House of Delaware offers a nurturing environment where families can stay together and find support.
Since its opening in 1991, the house has welcomed more than 39,800 families. Amenities include a laundry facility, a library, hot evening meals and weekly activities including pet therapy.
This is the eighth year that Highmark Delaware has partnered with the Wilmington Blue Rocks as part of the Ks for Kids program. Since 2006, $46,000 has been awarded through Ks for Kids to six different organizations.
